UFO Joe Slot Review

I have heard that Trump is once again the president of the United States🇺🇲. I don’t really care about or follow what presidents do or say.

But, I did read somewhere online that if Donald Trump won, he would reveal everything the government knows about aliens👽 and UFOs🛸! Or UAPs as they’re known these days.

If he does that, we may have to relook at the media we have about aliens, just like Popiplay’s UFO Joe slot🎰. Joe may need a redesign! We don’t know; aliens being depicted as little green men might be controversial🤣.

Gameplay

Once you pass the loading screen, you will be presented with a 7-reel, 7-row game grid. To create cluster pays, you must land 5 matching symbols adjacent to each other. Winning symbols explode, and symbols drop to fill the gaps.

The top paying symbols are all asteroids: purple, blue, green, and red. The Wild symbol is a meteor on fire, and it substitutes for all pay symbols.

The game has a very high volatility rating, with an average RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots. RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. of 96.26%. The betting ranges from $0.20 to $35, and the highest possible multiplier is 12,000x, which can lead to the game’s top prize of $420,000.

There are a ton of cool features to help you land wins, so let’s get into them!

Features

MERGER

When 4 matching symbols land in a square, they merge into a 2x2 instance of the same symbol. If this larger symbol contributes to a win, it doubles your cluster win amount.

If more than 1 larger symbol participates in a win, their 2x multipliers are added together before being applied to the win amount. During a symbol cascade, the larger symbols can separate into 4 individual symbols again.

The Merger mechanic doesn’t apply to Wild symbols, unfortunately.

STARLIGHT

On any spin, all instances of a low-paying symbol can start shining. If these symbols form a winning cluster, 2 Wild symbols take their place and replace them. This can only happen once during a spin.

SECOND CHANCE

On any non-winning spin, a random number of symbols are transformed into Wild symbols.

MASS ATTACK

Next to the reels sits Joe the alien, and on his ship is a progress bar, starting at 100. Every winning symbol reduces the number by 1. Upon reducing the number by 25, a randomly selected feature becomes active.

• Big Bang: When triggered, the reels randomly add 3 to 6 Wild symbols, which then destroy the symbols to their left, right, and above.

• Blaster: All low-paying symbols on the grid are removed from the reels, triggering a symbol cascade.

• Eclipse: When triggered, the game selects 1 symbol type and transforms all instances of the selected symbol into a different matching symbol.

• Interstellar: Places a Wild symbol in the center of the grid, and all symbols on that row—aside from any Wilds—transform into the same randomly selected symbol.

The progress bar unfortunately resets at the start of every spin.

TAKEOVER

When Joe the Alien's progress bar reaches 0, this feature adds a 3x3 Wild to the reels. On the subsequent symbol cascade, it introduces 2 2x2 Wilds, and on the third symbol cascade, it introduces 9 individual Wilds.

In between cascades, wilds that contribute to the formation of a winning cluster are removed from the reel. This feature also resets the progress bar.

BUY BONUS

You can trigger the Takeover feature for 100x your spin.

Performance

I tested this slot out on my Android phone and gaming laptop and didn’t encounter any issues whatsoever.

Maximum Win

You can win up to $420,000 on this game if you place the highest bet in the range ($0.20 to $35) and manage to hit the 12,000x top multiplier.

Conclusion

The first thing that stands out in this game is the huge win cap and max multiplier. Any game that can turn a low double-digit bet into 6 figures deserves your consideration, in my opinion.

Next, is the game’s great design and animation. The large grid still displays comfortably on phone screens, so you don’t have to worry about being limited to laptop or tablet.

The game unfortunately doesn’t offer features like Free Spins, but you can trigger helpful mechanics the more winning symbols are removed in a single spin. Unfortunately, you will have to be incredibly lucky to trigger them.

If you’ve got the bankroll, there is a Buy Bonus, but it’s up to you whether the risk of 100x your bet is worth it, because there is no guarantee the Takeover feature will award you your money back.

This is also a new provider for BitStarz, and they’re bringing some fresh ideas to the table, which I appreciate. I really enjoyed this game, and I think a lot of people will as well. Give it a spin and see for yourself.

PaylinesPaylines are preset lines that run across the reels, and when you land matching symbols on them, that will result in a payout. The more paylines, the more ways you can win, but also the higher your bet per spin.: Cluster PaysUnlike traditional paylines, Cluster Pays can award wins when a minimum number of matching symbols land adjacent to each other (vertically or horizontally), forming a cluster.
Volatility RateSlot games can have low, medium, high, or extremely high volatility rates (or a combination thereof). The less volatile the game, the more often it should pay out, but the lower the amount, the less the payout, as this is in keeping with the risk you’re taking.
